"Don't ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive, then go do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive." Howard Thurman.
What makes you come alive? This quote and question have been very present at Rite of Passage Journeys the last few years --- on our t-shirts, our program brochure and on our minds. You know how essential this work of helping people "come alive" is for our future. That is why we ask you to support us today.
Our programs have touched hundreds, if not thousands of lives, directly. In addition, more than 100 organizations have developed programs for their youth using our methodologies, meaning we reach thousands through our methods every year! Thanks to our work, more and more people are tapping into what makes them come alive... and bringing that to the world in service.
It is often hard to explain exactly what it is Journeys does. People are used to organizations that address the many challenges we face as a society -- poverty, global climate change, deforestation -- so many things. What Journeys does is changing our culture from the inside -- preparing individuals to step into transformative service to the world, and building connected communities. This will allow us to solve the unprecedented challenges we face now and will face in the future. Not everyone understands this, buy you do. And you know that the work we are doing now is vitally important.
So please, make a donation right now that reflects your deep commitment to transforming our world through deeply inspiring experiences in nature & community for youth and adults. Whether your gift is $5, $50, $500 or $5000 -- all are needed and will be quickly put to work!
Here is a quick look at what your donation will help us do:
$25 -- A donation at this level will buy 100 colorful postcards to get out the word about Journeys upcoming transformative programs for Communities, Adults and Youth.
$58 -- This is what it typically costs us to reach out to two youth participants and get them registered and prepared (with the correct outdoor gear!) for a fantastic backpacking program.
$126 -- Your donation at this level will pay for nine hours of staff time to dedicate towards maintaining our outreach systems; such as engaging our community through Facebook and sharing inspiring stories from the field on out blog.
$365 -- Support our movement into a virtual office! A donation at this level pays for the systems that allow us to work as a team from anywhere (and reduce our monthly rent costs from last year!)
$780 -- This will provide us with one month's pay for a part-time Administrative staff position that is specifically dedicated to Adult Program outreach and development.
$1000 -- Join our Sustainers Circle in on quick payment (or make a monthly pledge of $83.33)! It will only take 20 donors at this level to provide the stability necessary to do our work.
With your help, we can ensure that more youth are deeply supported through life transitions, and help people step more fully into their role in the world.
